The Executive Forum
Presented by Truist
The Executive Forum of Mercer University, presented by Truist, is a corporate and community outreach program of the School of Business and the Office of University Advancement.
A resource for working professionals in Macon and Atlanta, the Forum provides an opportunity for business and organization leaders to hear from some of the country’s most sought-after speakers, while interacting with other business leaders.
The Executive Forum’s mission is to:
- Present an annual series of high-quality management, leadership and current event seminars targeted to the needs of the Forum membership.
- Promote the University within the Forum membership and to the business community.
- Provide members with business networking opportunities, analysis on national/international events, new business trends and other critical business topics (economics, healthcare, services, government, industry).
